Took a quick trip to SPI and booked Gary for a morning charter. The bite was a bit slow due to the full moon, but we still managed to land a few keepers. Caught plenty, just not enough to keep. Highly recommend for a family outing!

A true professional and the best guide in all of Texas. Keeps you on the fish and is an absolute wealth of knowledge!

Gary is a skilled and experienced guide with a great attitude. He was incredibly patient and amazing with our 5-year-old daughter, teaching her the ropes of bay fishing. My wife and I are beginners, but he took the time to guide us every step of the way. His boat is top-notch, and one of the few in the area with sides. He’s the perfect guide for both families and serious anglers. Our catch definitely turned heads when we returned to the marina!

Our trip was saved when we got on his boat. It had been hell. Caught our limit of good trout. So much fun. Then we did a dolphin watch with all the leftover time. Thank you Capt Gary. I loved it.

We had a fantastic trip with Captain Gary. Though we love fishing, we don’t get to do it often, but he was incredibly patient and provided all the guidance we needed while taking us to great fishing spots. When my son felt sick from something he ate the night before, Captain Gary kindly brought him back to the dock so he could return to the condo, then took us back out to continue the trip. Despite the shortened outing, we caught enough trout for two big meals. I highly recommend Captain Gary!

Captain Gary was incredibly knowledgeable and ran an excellent charter trip. Highly recommend!
